#News<\/a> Lens: Pakistan\u2019s debt policy has brought us to the brink. Another five years of the same is unsustainable <\/strong>https:\/\/t.co\/Q7zYuDFvAQ<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 Bretton Woods Proj. (@brettonwoodspr) 14. November 2018<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As mentioned earlier, this is true, but comparing Pakistan\u2019s debt profile with a comparable country like Bangladesh shows that Pakistan is addicted to debt and that the economy cannot sustain the practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bangladesh is an apt comparison because it has a shared history with Pakistan<\/strong> and was, in fact, less developed than the latter when it emerged as an independent nation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, its political economy has similar issues \u2014 a history of coups, an assertive judiciary and a low tax base.\u00a0This means that, unlike Pakistan, the risks of \u201cexternal debt distress and overall debt distress<\/strong> remains low\u201d in Bangladesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

New! Despite the violence, discrimination & violation of many basic human rights, the repatriation of Rohingya to #Myanmar<\/a> is due to start this week. Aid agencies warned that this involuntary return is a violation of the principle of non-refoulement.

The intended commencement of return coincides with the 33rd Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit, which has also established an\u00a0initiative<\/a>involving the the foreign ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, to visit Myanmar \u201cto discuss the quickest way to help the Rohingya community return to their country.\u201d Yet by doing so, not only will this add momentum for a return process that is fraught with danger, but also adds a false layer of legitimacy to the Myanmar government\u2019s plans to establish apartheid-like segregation for returning Rohingya.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Myanmar & Bangladesh should immediately halt all plans for forced repatriation of Rohingya refugees. It is essential that any repatriation be conducted on a strictly voluntary basis, in accordance with international law & the principle of non-refoulement. <\/strong>https:\/\/t.co\/b7PakZkFuV<\/a>pic.twitter.com\/5fBjUTz8Er<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
